Taken From 1up:

That’s where a little device called Ediface — newly unveiled by audio peripheral maker SoundTech at CES — comes in. Basically speaking it’s a little peripheral that attaches to a real-world guitar and converts the sound produced by the instrument into digital MIDI format. This MIDI can then be run through any alternate software you choose (synthesized keytar anyone?) or sampled into any one of numerous MIDI programs. While MIDI pickups from guitars are not exactly new technology, the Ediface is unique in that it appears to use the actual sound produced by the guitar (as opposed to the electrical input of traditional pickups) to work its magic — meaning presumably that it would even work on something like a traditional acoustic.

More interestingly to gamers however, SoundTech has claimed that the Ediface will actually allow you to play Rock Band or Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with a real guitar. Apparently the company is developing special adapters for the little device for all major hardware platforms which, once configured, will allow a player to synch their digital output from the box to their rhythm game of choice. Rock on.
